we moved to a buffered window scheme. Two points to make: First, we are trying to get rid of libreg. Its format is really not being used correctly. Most clients can get away with using the persistant properties (eg key=value pair instead of a tree format). Secondly, 48888 removes XPCOM from using this registry format. This patch will land sometime for 1.1. Thanks,
